Spoiler
Can you just take the fuse out for the spoiler? Or does it fuse something else too?

Put Together
Love the front 3/4 angle on the car! Looks very predatory. Very put together. Nice!!!

Car looks great. However, I would paint the bumperettes to match the the rest of the vehicle. The matte black on them is the wrong color value to complement carbon. Personally, I would "tie" things in by either matching the side mirrors to the wheels in gloss black or adding carbon to them to compliment the wing. In any case, your boxster is one of my favorites on the forum . Great job !

Kinda agree with Johnny, here. Maybe paint the bumperettes to be a glossy black, and maybe the mirrors with a carbon finish. I have to say, if not for the good amount of black already going on with the car, you'd probably be right to feel it would look a little off, but I think it looks great. The whole car's very tastefully done...and I'm a sucker for red and black.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.
I was thinking the bumperettes needed a touchup today as I was helping another boxster buddy flush his brakes and remove his GHL. We were using my car for reference on putting the bumperetes back on, and I thought to myself, "they're really not black any more, more like gray". I guess I will have to something about it

i've got to chime in as well... beautiful car! Well done for sure!

If I may ask, what tire sizes are you running on your Victor Zehn's? I'm thinking about buying a set of 18" Lemans or Zehn's at the moment and I'm wondering if I can run 235/40/18 fronts and 275/35/18 rears on stock 98 non-s suspension w/o any spacers, etc... And how have you liked those wheels, by the way?

Anyhow, again, awesome job so far! Definitely one of the best looking Boxsters on here!
